Happy Thanksgiving!
Tomorrow I'll be heading off to Kernville to spend Thanksgiving with Jeff and his family. It was very hard for me to decide whether to spend the holiday with my family or his, and I still wish I could spend it with both. Sometimes life just isn't fair. It'll be my first Thanksgiving without my family, which is normal for a lot people, but a first for me. I know I'll enjoy the time away from here, but I wish I could be in two places at once! :) Anyway, I hope everyone has a safe and relaxing holiday. Enjoy your time with your friends and family, and remember to give thanks for all that you have in your life, good or bad. Love you all!

I miss break...
Yes, I miss being on break already. We had a 13 and a half hour day yesterday, and I think that's enough to kill anyone. Anyway, I forgot to post a few pictures from over break, so here ya go...
There was a double rainbow outside our house on the morning of our last final. We took it as a good sign...
While Jeff's parents were in SLO, we went down to the beach. Who wouldn't miss this?!
This one makes me laugh because of Jeff's hair. Needless to say, it was windy!
And this one just makes me happy... :)

A new term...
So it's a new term...the last term as a first year to be exact! And yet, it's the hardest one we'll have here. Our schedule is basically insane. There's really no other way to describe it. Here it is...brace yourself:
Neuroscience: Mon/Thurs 8-12
Pathophysiology: Mon/Wed 6-9:30 (yes, pm)
Neuro Rehab: Tues 9-12, Wed 8-12, Fri 8-11
Orthopedics I: Tues/Wed/Thurs 1-5:30
TBA (which is basically extra class time for any instructor): Mon 1-3 or later
Sadly we lost 2 more classmates after last term. Just another reminder of how fragile our spot is in this program, and how thankful I am to still be here. Hopefully we don't lose any more.
Anyway, I don't have much time, but here's a little something that a few classmates came up with in anticipation of becoming second years. It is probably funnier to me, but thought I'd share anyway.
Top 20 ways to realize that being a 2nd year is right around the corner...
20. You are easily bribed by food
19. You’ve honestly thought, “ I should just spend the night here… I’ll be back soon enough.”
18. You have an undisclosed competition amongst your classmates as to who has the most colored pencils.
17. Phone calls are limited to 5 minutes, no matter who you are talking to.
16. 1 pack of pens + 1000 note cards = 1 term
15. After every term you have to get your eye prescription updated.
14. You start to get pressure sores on your ischial tuberosities.
13. You have a constant headache that meds don’t effect
12. 4 cups of coffee + 2 shots of espresso still doesn’t pick you up.
11. You got to school and there were no other cars in the parking lot… you left school and there were no other cars in the parking lot.
10. Crying happens… its OK… you did fine.
9. Your binder is full… therefore, so is your brain.
8. You only find out about natural disasters, etc. through the professors prayers
7. When you find yourself praying that the professors will pray for you before the tests.
6. The plinths in the back of room 130 look really comfortable.
5. You decide to take a study break… so you switch subjects.
4. You are legitimately excited for the weekend… so that you can get caught up on studying.
3. You make a PLAN “B” list… and consider it.
2. The girl/guy at Starbucks knows your name, order, and asks how the test went.
1. You get 5 hours of sleep and are quite happy about it!

Alive and kickin'
Hi all! So I survived finals, and hopefully passed them all. I think I passed them all, but you never know in this program. I have yet to receive a phone call telling me to come back down because I didn't. Fingers crossed, I don't get one this whole week.
I'm currently up in SLO trying to recuperate from last week. Sunday we celebrated Jeff's birthday. I made him his favorite cookies and a cake without frosting and got him Lego Star Wars for the Wii. I must admit, it's actually a pretty fun game, and the best part is that you can't die! That alone earns it major points.
Anyway, not much to say. Just letting you all know I'm still alive. Don't forget to go out and vote today! And don't use the excuse that you don't know who to vote for...that's just lame...
